The NeverEnding Story tells the story of Bastian (Barret
Oliver) who, on his way to school one day, ducks into a bookstore to avoid bullies. Sneaking away with a book called “The NeverEnding
Story,” Bastian begins reading it in the school attic. The novel is about Fantasia, a fantasy land
threatened by “The Nothing,” a darkness that destroys everything it
touches. The kingdom needs the help of a
human child to survive. When Bastian
reads a description of himself in the book, he begins to wonder if Fantasia is
real and needs him to survive.
